WHISTLER, BC – Whistler Brewing has announced the release of a new seasonal beer that will raise funds for a local animal shelter.

Rescue Ale is a 4.6% abv and 42 IBU ale with the following description:

Rescue Ale contains a pleasant and aromatic blend of tropical passion fruit, thanks to the addition of Citra hops, which contributes an abundance of grapefruit, pineapple, gooseberry and juicy citrus flavours. Idaho 7 hops lends to the background bitterness. This well crafted light amber pale ale finishes clean, is easy to drink and is well balanced with a medium hop aftertaste.

Proceeds from the sales of Rescue Ale will be donated to Whistler Animals Galore (WAG), an organization and shelter that “helps to rescue and care for animals who are lost, injured and neglected in [the Whistler] community.”

Whistler Rescue Ale is available now in 650 ml bottles at select beer and liquor retailers in British Columbia and Alberta.
